“13: The Last Floor” is a horror short film done in stop motion that revisits my childlike fear of elevators. In this film, a Little Girl's curiosity brought her to challenge the infamous ritualistic game- one that allegedly transports you to the parallel world by travelling up and down a specific sequence of floors in a dark and ​​claustrophobic elevator. The game intensifies upon the arrival of a mysterious Lady on the 13th floor whom you should not interact with at all cost or risk being trapped in the vicious, endless loop of the elevator in the parallel world. However, this is soon subverted with a funny twist as Little Girl realised that the lady she was scared of on the 13th floor is actually her own mother.
